get the dead out

To think that August starts this week is crazy! Another summer is flying by! Clothing stores and magazines are already putting out their Autumn best, but I'm not letting summer slip away that easily.

Many of the flowers in our garden appear to be dying back and calling it quits for the season, but there is a whole lot of life left in them! All that they needed was a little "dead-heading," so Bob and I took some time today to snip off the spent blooms. Removing the dead heads encourages new flower growth, and will keep the garden beautiful all summer long. 

Here's to flowers until Fall!
